Just days ago, an image of Himanshi Narwal sitting in shock beside her husband’s body—a Navy officer killed in the brutal terror attack in Pahalgam—became a symbol of national mourning. Referring to the widespread social media backlash on Himanshi's remarks, the NCW wrote, "After the death of Lieutenant Vinay Narwal, the way his wife Himanshi Narwal is being criticised on social media in relation to one of her statements is unfortunate." However, the social media frenzy quickly escalated after Himanshi’s peace appeal—urging people not to target Muslims or Kashmiris, and to seek justice without hate—went viral, clashing with a plethora of charged emotions.
